If you issue M-x edebug-set-breakpoint inside a random function
definition, you will get "Not inside instrumented form" error. So, you
need to C-u C-M-x it first manually. In addition to being annoying, it
can also lead to accidental breakpoint loss, since you can't easily
tell if a form is already instrumented and has breakpoints.
Request: instead of signalling an error, Emacs should just
automatically instrument function if I set a breakpoint in it.

Good idea. I've now done this in Emacs 27.

Your change doesn't seem to do anything at all. E.g. start `emacs -q',
type some defun in the scratch buffer, M-: (require 'edebug) and try
to set a breakpoint within the defun. It fails with the same message
as before. Whether you C-M-x it first or not.

Huh. Yeah, that change didn't work at all -- my test case must have
been all wrong.
I've tweaked it, and now it works from -Q for me.
